Mothers’ crying

            While a man is writing a poem

            In the barrio where he grew up

            He hears some shots,

            Then a woman screaming up

5          He prefers staying there

            In the serenity of his bedroom

            Suddenly he hears some more shots

             But the poet is not surprised

             Actually he is never surprised

10        Coz in his barrio shots come and go all the time

            At noon, at night, on New Year event, on holy week

            Shots are the sauce of the daily life

            A mother is screaming

            A mother is crying

15        Because her baby is dying

            Where is the father?

            The Father is drinking

            The Father is cheating

            Coz his wife is getting old

20        Fat and neglected

            But the poet is not surprised

            Coz in his barrio shots and treasons

            Seems to be the reason

            Why a poet is in his prison

25        Writing poems as the rain falls down in  

            Spring season

            This is the best season

            Since rain cleans the blood

            That left the barrio mothers’ sons

30        When they are shot
